Abstract

An area to which volume ratio '1' as allotted in an analysis area is divided into first and second types of cells. A third cell is placed next to and above the first cell, and volume ratio '0' is allotted to the third cell. With respect to the direction in which the third and first cells are placed next to each other, both cells are adapted to have the same width. As a result, by interpolation of the volume ratio, the position at which volume ratio assumes 0.5 is positioned at the boundary between cells.
